The Sand Del Lee Motocross Park is known as one of the best sand motocross racing tracks in the country. It is famous for its wide, high speed straightaways and its huge sand berms. It has been in operation since the early 1970’s. In 2006, the track was completely renovated with a new layout, access tunnels, a pavilion and a water system. It features a 42 gate starting line, three 50-foot long tunnels for spectator access, a professional timing system and a three storey scoring tower. A professional motocross racer can make it around the track in a two minute time frame. MX101 Inc., operator of Sand Del Lee Motocross Park, not only has its own racing team but it also is committed to providing educational programs in motocross racing. MX101 Inc. has been teaching motocross racing since 2000, having helped over 1,000 riders pursue their goals in the sport of motocross.

Swimming is fun. It is also made safe thanks to the efforts of lifeguards. This weekend lifeguards are going to have a little fun themselves as they take part in the Ontario Senior Lifeguard Championships at various Ottawa venues including the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool in Stittsville. The championships, sanctioned by the Lifesaving Society, will see lifeguard teams of four compete in three simulated emergency response events as well as four relay events. The simulated emergency response events are first aid, water rescue and priority assessment. The relay events are 4 x 50 metre obstacle relay, 4 x 50 metre medley relay, 4 x 25 metre manikin relay and a life throw relay. All competitors will be at least 16 years of age and will hold a current National Lifeguard Service certification. The championships will be held over two days, this Saturday, July 31 and this Sunday, Aug. 1. First event will be the priority assessment event which will take place on Saturday JOHN BRUMMELL PHOTO morning.

Hum - what’s going on - a BBQ and sidewalk sale JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Hum, what’s going on here? That’s what many passing by Village Plaza on Stittsville Main Street must have hummed to themselves last Saturday around the noon hour. And humming would be the right term, because there, pulled up on the grass beside the Village Plaza sign, was a gold-like Hummer,
decorated with balloons and signs. And, sitting in the open sunroof, waving signs to attract the attention of passersby were a couple of youngsters. A number of passing motorists honked in recognition of the youngsters’ efforts. It was all related to a sidewalk sale and charity BBQ which was being held at Village Plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hobin Street last Saturday. Par-
ticipating businesses included Urban Tags clothing consignment shop, The Cat’s Meow, Shears Colour & Hair Salon and the Vac Shack. Proceeds from the charity BBQ
are earmarked for the Stittsville Food Bank. The Hummer used to attract the attention of passing motorists was provided by I Play, a game entertainment business. New Adult Patients Receive Free Whitening

The preliminaries and finals will be interrupted by the official opening ceremony at 10 a.m. All of this will take place at the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Saturday afternoon will see the preliminaries held for the water rescue event as well as the finals held for the various relay events. These will be happening at the Kanata Leisure Centre, at the Plant Recreation Centre, at the Walter Baker Sports Centre and at the Nepean Sportsplex. The competition’s focus shifts back to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex for all of the activities on Sunday, Aug. 1. This will include the preliminaries for the first aid event as well as the finals for both the first aid event and the water rescue event. A windup awards banquet will be held at Algonquin College on Sunday evening. The team with the highest overall point score from the events will be awarded the Ontario championship trophy and banner. Awards will be presented for the top three finishers in the final of all of the events, with
the event winners recognized as Ontario champions. The first aid event will see the teams provide assessments, treatments, science management and call for the required assistance within a time limit of four to six minutes. The water rescue event will see teams lifeguarding for a period of four to six minutes, during which the team members will be required to deal with all incidents. In the obstacle relay event, an obstacle is located 12.5 metres from the starting edge. It is fixed at right angles onto lane ropes in a straight line across all lanes. The manikin relay involves swimmers carrying a manikin 25 metres before passing it off to a teammates who then carries the manikin 25 metres. This goes on for both a third and four team member. In the line throw relay, which is a timed event, a team member throws an unweighted line to a fellow team member, a “victim”, located in the water on the near side of a rigid cross bar located 12 metres away and then must pull the fellow team member back to the edge of the pool.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The currency created by youngsters at the “Money Safari” program at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday, July 22 had one common trait – it was big. Big not only in size as the rectangular paper used was about twice the size of regular Canadian paper money but also big in terms of denomination – the so-called jungle currency ranged from $14 to $95 to $1020 to $80828. It must cost a lot to live in the jungle. But the bills were colourful, with flowers and other decorations, all thanks to the wooden stamps and coloured pencils provided to the youngsters to help create their own unique currency on the blank pieces of paper. “Perhaps we should have you come and design bills for us,” commented Nicole Kasaboski, one of the three member team from the Bank of Canada’s Currency Museum who presented the “Money Safari” program. Creating a jungle currency bill was just one part of the program. The dozen-plus youngsters who attended the program were also able to discover about various items used as currency in areas around the world, especially in isolated, jungle-like areas. “Sometimes it can be really weird money,” said Louise-Ann Laroche, another of the Currency Museum team running the program. And through the use of puzzles, instructions written on parchment and a “black light” which revealed the secret of each
completed puzzle, the youngsters in the program discovered what some of this “weird money” was – a Kissi penny, a Yap stone, an iron bell, a cocoa bean, a Manila, a porpoise tooth and a sea shell. These items, all used at one time or another in various parts of the world, were all on display at the program. A cocoa bean was once currency in Mexico; a sea shell was used as money in the Pacific Islands as well as elsewhere in the world; a porpoise tooth was money at one time in the Solomon Islands; a Manila, a horseshoe-like item, was used as currency in Nigeria; an iron bell was used as money in the Congo; a Yap stone, a round stone ranging in size from a few inches to some over eight feet in circumference, was money on Yap Island in the Pacific Ocean; and a Kissi penny was a currency made out of iron by a blacksmith. The youngsters at the program all had the opportunity, after reading their parchment instructions, to draw a picture of what they thought their particular “weird money” looked like. They managed to come pretty close to what the real thing looked like. The youngsters were also shown other items that at one time were used as currency, such as a beaver pelt in Canada, a rectangular bar of tea that the Chinese Tea Company once used as money (This would be better off than having today’s real money if stranded on an island, noted Brad Coates of the Currency Museum, because at least a person could drink the tea), and a Spanish American dollar coin that circulated in the Americas in the past. The Currency Museum representatives also showed the youngsters some of the ways

Red carpet runway at youth fashion show JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The red carpet was out at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Friday evening, July 23. No, it was not for some ceremony involving a visiting dignitary or official event. Instead, it was part of the props and surroundings for the first ever youth fashion show staged at the GRC. The red carpet was the runway on which the volunteer youth models strode up and down, displaying their outfits to the crowd of 40 or so in the three rows of chairs which lined both sides of the red carpet. This fashion show, orga-
nized by the youth themselves with mentoring from the city of Ottawa’s Youth Connexion personnel, was held as a fundraiser, with half of the proceeds going to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa and the other half supporting the Youth Connexion program. All of the fashions came from Value Village, a fact which the youth exploited in setting the show’s theme which was “From Faux Pas to Fierce.” Value Village, of course, is famous as a thrift store which offers both new and gently used vintage clothing, accessories and collectibles. A Value Village is slated to become one of

the stores in the new Grant Crossing retail development on the north side of Hazeldean Road just west of the Carp River. The theme of the fashion show was to show that thrift clothing could be made both fashionable and glamourous. And this is just what the models – brandishing model-like names like Christina, Alexandra, Isabelle and Brandee and even including two males, Eric and Kyle – did, adding flare and style to the fashions with their hair styles, their accessories such as sunglasses and purses and, quite simply, their runway presence. It was obvious that they were enjoying what they were doing and they played the role superbly. Two trips by each up and down the runway, with a traditional pose for the camera of professional photographer Wanda Keenan at the runway end, gave everyone lots of opportunity to see the outfit being modeled. And, if this were not enough, a projected visual gave the model’s name and described the clothing being worn – great for future reference in case a purchase was merited. Indeed, all of the clothing modeled, from the most casual to the more formal, and even more, were posted on a wall where after the show bids could be placed on them, like a silent auction. The fashion show got underway on a musical note, with singer/songwriter Travis Lefebvre of Stittsville performing for the audience, singing, playing his guitar and even adding a mouth organ to his offerings. Travis, a graduate in communications from Carleton University, likes writing his own songs and singing. His website can be found on My Space under the name “Acorn Trail.” His quarter hour performance was followed by the 18 minute long fashion show, after which refreshments were available with the crowd, comprised of parents (both mothers and fathers) and siblings, not only enjoying them and making bids on the clothing but also chatting with the models. Youth Connexion is a city-run program designed to give youth an opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills. The program staff mentor youth as they plan events such as this fashion show. Indeed, for this fashion show, the
youth picked out the clothing, chose the music which played throughout the show as the models paraded on the runway and served as the models. The Youth Services Bu-
reau, to which half of the show’s proceeds were delegated, provides a number of youth programs in the city of Ottawa. The proceeds from this fashion show are going to the Youth Services
Bureau’s downtown youth drop-in centre which provides health, dental, laundry, shelter and other services to about 1,500 youth each year.

There will be home cooked meals pre-
pared by the folks from St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in the dining hall from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 will see the annual Fair parade take place, starting at 11 a.m. at South Carleton High School and making its way to the fairgrounds. There will be various livestock shows, such as the saddle and harness horse show, the heavy horse show, the western horse and pony games show, the junior shorthorn and junior Hereford beef shows and the open 4-H beef showmanship show. But this is only part of what will be going on at the fairgrounds on this day. The midway, of course, will be in full operation. There will be shows in kiddyland and family entertainment on the outdoor stage, beginning at noon. There will be entertainment inside the arena starting at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 19 will see more of the same, with the various horse and cattle shows going on, including the draft and commercial horse show and the sheep show. There will be a non-denominational church service at 10:30 a.m. Family entertainment will once again grace the outdoor stage.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Alexandra Power of Stittsville was one of over 2300 girls to attend a recent Girl Guide Mosaic at Guelph honouring the 100th anniversary of the founding of Girl Guides. Alexandra, who is a member of the Ranger Unit in Kanata as Stittsville does not offer this older age category of Guiding, is in her 12th uninterrupted year in Guiding. The Guiding Mosaic was held at the Guelph Lake Conservation Area in southern Ontario from Thursday, July 8 through Saturday, July 17. Guiding Mosaics, which are international camps, are held every four years, providing Guides aged 12 and over with the opportunity to meet Girl Guides from distant locations. Among those attending this year’s Guiding Mosaic were participants from 14 different countries, some travelling from as far away as South Korea, Japan, Venezuela, Jamaica and England to attend. Marking the centennial of the founding of the Girl Guide movement, this Mosaic is one of numerous celebrations which are happening around the world from last September through to this coming November to honour 100 years of girl guiding in the world and remembering the movement’s founder, Lord BadenPowell. The Girl Guide movement arose following the founding of the Boy Scout movement by former army general Robert Baden-Powell who called a Scout Rally at the Crystal Palace in England in Sept. 1909.

Summer 2010 has a chance to be one of the best ever Wow, what a summer! And let’s hope the great weather keeps on going through August. Here we are, with the long Civic Holiday weekend coming up, and the summer so far has been, well, summer. Hot, sunny weather. Just great for the cottage or the golf course or the pool or, well, just about anything. Nice weather always makes you feel better. So, whether it is an evening at Alexander Grove watching a ball game or lining the field at a minor soccer game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex or at Lions Park in Richmond or walking along the Trans Canada Trail or attending

a summer camp or travelling with the family, summer 2010 has, up to now, been great thanks to the weather. Quite a difference from last year’s summer when rain, not sunshine, seemed to be the order of the day. We will have another month to go before the hectic lifestyle that everyone faces today kicks in again. Hopefully the sunny, warm weather will continue as well and help keep thoughts away of wintertime. After all, it is less than five months to Christmas Day – but who’s counting. Summertime is really heaven on earth when the sun shines. Whether it is a backyard barbecue or a bicycle ride around the neighbourhood or a casual stroll with the dog
MP in Richmond
TO EDITOR
Flawed
Editor: Regarding the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) meeting on July 8th in Richmond, my sentiments about the Community Development Plan (CDP) as a process are in keeping with those of Mrs. Elaine Morgan and Mrs. Rosemary McArthur; i.e. the process was basically flawed. Attendees of the steering committee meetings are aware that: 1) members of the public were not allowed to participate at the initial steering committee meetings; 2) Mattamy was less than transparent when it came to answering some of the public’s pointed questions (i.e. how many homes did Mattamy intend to build; infrastructure concerns; storm water/sump pump concernts; etc.); 3) the steering committee chair railed about the number of topics that had not been discussed by the committee at, or near, the committee’s penultimate meeting; and 4) the lands at the corner of Ottawa Street and Eagleson Road were never dealt with , even though one landowner told me that councillor Glenn Brooks was aware of the proposal the owners had put forward to the city. However, incomplete as it was, the CDP was presented to ARAC on July 8th as per Mattamy’s previously announced schedule. Simply put, the CDP process was not of, by and for the residents of Richmond.

Here comes MP Gordon O’Connor. The Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP is holding an “In Your Area Days Meeting” in Richmond this coming Tuesday, Aug. 3, beginning at 6:30 p.m. It will be held at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Perth Street. This is one of a series of such “In Your Area Days” meetings which Mr. O’Connor is holding throughout the riding. There have been meetings in both Stittsville and Fitzroy Harbour so far, while upcoming meetings will be taking place in Kanata, Almonte and Constance Bay. Mr. O’Connor has hosted over 60 of these “In Your Area Days” meetings during his tenure as the area’s federal MP. The meetings provide residents with the opportunity to meet with their Member of Parliament right in their own community. The meetings also provide Mr. O’Connor with an opportunity to identify the issues and concerns of residents while also giving him a chance to meet with constituents on a personal level. Everyone is invited to attend the Aug. 3 meeting in Richmond, whether just to drop in and say hello or to talk about a specific issue. The meeting will begin with JOHN CURRY PHOTO a roundtable discussion at 6:30 p.m., followed by priA barn seemingly rises out of a field of corn along Fernbank Road near Terry Fox Drive in Goulbourn vate meetings on a first come, first served basis to diseast of Stittsville. cuss any personal issues.

or a leisurely weeding of the garden or just a social time with neighbours, the summer brings leisure to the forefront. It has to be good for the health, because it sure is good for a person’s outlook on life. Suddenly, everything seems more sensible, more ordered, more reasonable, more enjoyable. The buzz and rush of living is dissipated; it is a time to recharge the bodily engine and enjoy life. The hectic everyday lifestyle will be returning, no doubt about it. But another month of summertime living in the month of August would be sensational. This would make summer 2010 one of the best ever. Hopefully it will happen.
and Michael Robert Taylor. The exhibit, entitled “The New Pictorialism,” is featuring photographs inspired by the pictorialists of the early 1900’s. The group of photographers in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s who became known as pictorialists sought to differentiate their artistic work from regular snapshots. For the pictorialists, the actual scene shown in a photograph is of less importance than the artistic quality of the image. It is the aesthetics and emotional impact

‘COMFORT STARS’
One person making a difference JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF
Final Notification
Class Environmental Assessment Terry Fox Municipal Transformer Station Hydro Ottawa has completed the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed construction and operation of a new municipal transformer station in Ottawa West to address growing electricity demand. Environmental, technical and economic criteria were applied to four potential station sites in the study area. Site ‘‘4’’ located at 300/330 Michael Cowpland Drive, was selected as the preferred site, as it has the most advantages and least disadvantages. The station will consist of two transformers and associated equipment to step down electricity from the adjacent 230 kV transmission lines to 27.6 kV so that it can be distributed to homes and businesses. The new facilities are expected to be in service in the fall of 2012. The proposed station elements include two power transformers, a building to house high voltage switchgear and outdoor switchyard structures. PROJECT STUDY AREA

DESCRIPTION
D
Rotarian Alice Otupiri is just one person. But thanks to support from her NepeanKanata Rotary Club, a partnership with Right To Play, the generosity of individual sponsors, help from her sister who is on site in Ghana and growing support from families in the community in Ghana where she runs a program called Comfort Stars, Alice is making a difference. The difference is in the lives of children who thanks to the Comfort Stars program have an opportunity to come together and play. Participation in this program also opens up the door of opportunity for possible sponsorship to attend school including university and to attend a literacy program which Alice herself runs for the four months of the year when she is back in Ghana. Over the past ten years, the Comfort Stars program has grown to include the sponsorship program and the literacy program. The original Comfort Stars program, which is really a boys and girls club for youngsters at risk, now draws up to 400 children from age three and up to Saturday morning activities where they get to enjoy themselves just playing. Alice has partnered with a church and with the Right To Play organization in this program. Right To Play is an international humanitarian agency headquartered in Toronto which uses sport and play to help in the development of children and youth in the developing world. Its success has led to the creation of two other programs, a sponsorship program which now involves 39 children who receive $200 a year in sponsorship support from Canadians whom Alice has sought out. This allows the children to attend university or community college or pay school fees as they progress in their education. To be eligible for the sponsorship program, a youngster must be involved in the Saturday morning Comfort Stars program. The sponsors in Canada get letters from those that they sponsor. This
not only provides information to the sponsors but it gives the children in Ghana an opportunity to learn how to write letters. Alice also operates a literacy program which she runs herself for the four months of every year when she is back in her home country of Ghana. In this program, youngsters, who already attend school but are not learning how to read due to high numbers of students in the classes, get to learn how to read. The goal of the program is to ensure that they can read by the time that they write the high school entrance examination. Reading opens up not only the world of higher education but also the world of work, especially for girls. For instance, a wish to be a hairdresser can be achieved only if the girl can read. “Our aim is to get each and every one of them a skill,” Alice told members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their July 20th meeting as she explained her work in Ghana. The literacy program gives the children not only the ability to read but also the enjoyment of reading. Those involved in the program frequently show up at Alice’s in-house library and ready by themselves. “They love Robert Munsch,” Alice says about the works of the popular Canadian author of children’s books. They must be responsible and accountable and are allowed in the program as long as they do not miss classes. Otherwise, they are out of the program and someone else is allowed in. Her sister in Ghana runs the Comfort Stars program when she is not there. But the literacy program only operates when Alice herself is there since she does the teaching. And her methods including dancing and singing, making the program fun. This is why the children learn to read in four months. The literacy program involves up to 65 children, no more, so that Alice herself can run the program. “I want a small program that I can run,” she says.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa By using the green bins, Ottawa residents have helped divert over 26,000 tonnes of organic material from area landfills during the first six months of the program. Residential waste diversion rates for the first half of 2010 rose to 42 per cent, with nearly 20 per cent of all residential waste collected being returned to the earth through the City’s organics program. Though participation rates in the program are encouraging, we can do more and must do more if the City is going to reach its diversion target of 60 per cent. Remember to feed your green bin with all organic materials that qualify for the program including: food scraps, soiled pizza boxes, paper plates, napkins, paper coffee, beverage cups and leaf and yard waste. Residents are also reminded of simple ways to reduce odours and keep animals away from green bins stored outside during the warmer months: • Keep the lid locked. • Place the green bin in an area where it can’t be knocked over, or brace the green bin to keep it upright. • Use peppermint oil, cayenne or chilli pepper, or hot sauce around the edge of the lid to keep animals away. • Layer food waste with grass clippings and leaf & yard waste to minimize odour. • Wrap wet food waste such as meat, fish, fruits and vegetables in old newspapers or paper bags; or, leave these smellier items out of your green bin until collection day (try storing these items in a paper bag in the freezer). • Put your green bin out weekly and rinse regularly to help keep it clean. The City of Ottawa’s Green Bin program does not allow plastics of any kind, including biodegradable or compostable
City’s waste diversion rates continue with Green Bin Program plastics. If you wish to use bin liners, please use paper only. The City also reminds residents to use green bins safely, store their green bin in a safe location, and to be aware of any hazards with regards to children. Register now for the 9-Run-Run! I am encouraging all residents to take part in what hopes to be an annual event, the inaugural 9-Run-Run which is taking place on Saturday, October 23 in Stittsville. Those participating in the run will meet at Sacred Heart High School. Race time is 9:00 am. Come support the emergency services that support us. Join forces and run with members of the Fire, Police and Paramedic Services. Everyone is welcome and there’s a 3K walk/run for the whole family. There will be something for everyone including great door prizes, medals and tshirts for all participants, post-race food, and hands-on displays for the kids. Race registration fees increase on August 1st so register sooner than later. All great events are as great as their volunteers. If you would like to be a volunteer, contact volunteers@9runrun.ca to get involved. This year’s event is in support of Project STEP (Support Treatment Education Prevention). For more information, visit www.project-step.ca I would like to thank Police Chief Vern White, Ottawa Paramedic Service Chief Anthony Di Monte and Fire Chief John deHooge for their support. I would also like to thank and congratulate Brenda Tirrell for organizing this event. To register or for more information, visit www.9runrun.ca or www.events. runningroom.com/site/?raceId=5872
Process for reducing speed limits on residential roads Speeding is a concern for us all, especially when it happens on residential roads. My office receives many phone calls and emails from residents wondering how to reduce the speed limit to 40 km/h. When a resident or business contacts the Traffic Inquiry desk, staff will first verify if the street qualifies as a local road. If it is a local residential road, a petition form including the affected addresses will be sent for completion. Staff will verify that the street qualifies as a local road and provide the petition form, including the affected addresses back to the appropriate Councillor’s office. On receipt of the completed petition, the request will be assigned to the Traffic Assessment Specialist and forwarded to the Ward Councillor for concurrence. If the street is not a local residential road, staff will review alternatives to address the speed concerns such as the deployment of speed boards, traffic reviews and the contact number of the Ottawa Police for traffic enforcement. Should you have any questions regarding the request process, please contact Greg Kent, Manager, Traffic, Engineering and Technical Services, 613-580-2424, extension 21707, Greg.Kent@ottawa.ca For a detailed look at the process, visit www.ottawa.ca/traffic.

A Stittsville swimmer was a double gold medalist in the recent 2010 Junior Long Course Provincial Championships. Laura Ruttan, 15, who attends South Carleton High School, not only captured two gold medals but also added a silver medal and a bronze medal. Laura won her gold medals in the 200 and 400 individual medley events. Her silver medal came in the 200 breaststroke event while she earned her bronze medal in the 100 breaststroke. These four medals won by Laura were among the 27 medals captured by members of the Nepean Kanata Barracudas Swim Club in the meet which was held in their Club’s home pool at the Nepean Sportsplex. This performance earned the Barracudas eighth place in the championships which involved swimmers from 63 teams across the province. Nepean Kanata Barracudas coach Iain McDonald was happy with the sway that his swimmers performed in the meet. “Laura (Ruttan) led the way with a break through meet and our swimmers did a great job taking the feedback from their morning swims and implementing those changes
to their final races,” he said. “This resulted in some fast finals swimming.” Laura was not the only Stittsville swimmer to medal at the championships. Ally Davis, 16, of Stittsville, who is a distance freestyle swimmer for the Barracudas, earned a bronze medal in the 1500 freestyle event. Her time in this event was the fourth fastest time in this event in the history of the Nepean Kanata Barracudas Swim Club. Many of the Barracudas top level swimmers are now training for the upcoming Age Group National Championships to be held at the Pan Am Games Complex in Winnipeg as well as for the Senior National Championships at the Commonwealth Games pool in Victoria. Both of these competitions are taking place later this month. The Nepean Kanata Barracudas Swim Club operates a year-round swimming program for age group and senior competitive swimmers. It offers professional coaching, training and competition for these swimmers, right from the novice competitive swimmer to those at the national team level.

It’s been only a so-so season for the Stittsville 56ers in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League so far this season. The 56ers, defending league champions, are in fourth place in the eight team league with a record of eight wins, nine losses and one tie in 18 games. The Kars Aces lead the league with 15 wins and only two losses in 17 games. On Wednesday, July 14, the Stittsville 56ers built up a 10-4 lead after four innings and then managed to hold on for a 10-9 victory over the Ottawa Blitz. The 56ers were trailing 4-3 going into the bottom of the fourth inning when the Stittsville squad send 13 batters to the plate in the inning, scoring seven runs. In this game, Ryan Bond pounded out three hits for the 56ers. Tyler Nystedt and Dan Bradley both had two-hit games. Darren Featherstone was the winning pitcher for the 56ers. The 56ers recently defeated the Ottawa Blitz 4-1 in a game played in Manotick, with the 56ers taking the lead right off the bat and never looking back. Dan Jessiman slammed a two run home run in the top of the first inning to put the 56ers ahead. This was Dan’s third home run of the season.
Later in the inning, Scott Jessiman’s double scored another run, giving the 56ers a 3-0 lead. The Blitz came back with one run in the second inning which ended up being the only run that the team scored in the game. Kyle Jamieson slammed a solo home run for the 56ers in the fifth inning to round out the scoring and give the 56’ers a 4-1 victory. Darren Featherstone earned the victory on the mount for the 56’ers. The 56’ers had quite a battle recently with the league leading Kars Aces. In the game played at the Grove in Stittsville, Stittsville jumped out into a 2-0 lead in the first inning but then Kars came back with five runs in the top of the second inning to take over the game. But Stittsville did not give up, scoring two runs in the fifth inning to close to within one run. Kars replied with a solo run in the sixth inning and this is how the game ended – 6-4 for Kars. Darren Featherstone took the loss for the 56’ers. He got relief help from Dan Bradley. Teams in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League this season are the Stittsville 56ers, the Kars Aces, Quyon Combat Flyers, Carp 14C Victory, Barrhaven Broadway Blues, Ottawa Blitz, North Gower Marlboroughs and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric.

This year’s plowing match near site of 1983 event more marching bands and floats taking part. Among the other special guests at the official opening were Ontario Minister of Agriculture Dennis Timbrell, Nepean-Carleton MP Walter Baker, Carleton-Grenville MPP Norm Sterling, Ottawa-Carleton regional chair Andy Haydon, Preston Ralph who was chair of the Ottawa-Carleton organizing committee and host farmer Garnet Ralph. The International Plowing Match even had a temporary airstrip set up on the adjoining farm of Al and Mary Munro. On opening day, a total of 23 planes landed at this airstrip. Lori-Ann Shibish of Alliston, Simcoe County’s Queen of the Furrow, was chosen as the Ontario Queen of the Furrow at the 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show, winning out over 32 other competitors. One of these was Heather Mowat of Fallowfield who was Ottawa-Carleton’s Queen of the Furrow. This 1983 International Plowing Match was the first one in the Match’s 70 year history up to that point that a special postmark was developed for the event by Canada Post Corporation. The special postmark was put on souvenir envelopes bearing the International Plowing Match’s symbol for the event. These souvenir envelopes were available at the Canada Post booth at the Plowing Match and also at the Richmond post office during the five days of the Plowing Match. More than 300 volunteers were involved with the Ottawa-Carleton organizing committee for this 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. Preston Ralph of Burritt’s Rapids was chair of the organizing committee. Colleen Brown of Richmond was chair of the Ladies’ Program while Gordon Hill of Fallowfield was chair of the Tented City committee. The local organizing committee works in unison with the Ontario Plowmen’s Association which is the official host of the annual event. Leading up to the event itself, a Rural and Urban Beautification program was held, with 405 participants. The aim of this program was to encourage farmers, home owners and industrial and commercial firms to tidy up their properties to present an attractive image of the Ottawa-Carleton region to the visitors coming to the area for the Plowing Match. Keith and Margaret Hobbs of RR1, Ashton were judged to have the most improved farmstead in the judging for the program. Ken Dunbar Ltd. of Richmond
had the most attractive industrial/commercial property in the judging. The Ladies’ Arts and Crafts Theatre at the Plowing Match featured the 38 quilts entered in a quilt competition which was staged prior to the event itself. This 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show near Richmond was the third time that the Ottawa-Carleton area had hosted the event. The 1932 match was held on 150 acres at the Central Experimental Farm, along with 200 acres of adjoining farms. The 1952 match was held on 835 acres
of farmland surrounding the Carp airport at Carp. It attracted 85,000 spectators. The 1918 match was planned to be held at the Central Experimental Farm but at the 11th hour, the match was cancelled because of a flu epidemic. In 2001, the International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show was held at Navan in Ottawa-Carleton. In 2003, it was held just east of Carleton Place in Lanark County. This year’s International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show is being held at St. Thomas in Elgin County.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF When the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association holds its annual plowing match this year, the site will be within view of the site which hosted the 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. This year’s local plowing match and associated rural celebration will be held at the corner of Eagleson Road and Rushmore Road between Fallowfield Road in the north and Richmond Road in the south. This is the same stretch of Eagleson Road on which the site of the 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show was held. Indeed, this stretch of the Eagleson Road was opened up and built to accommodate the 1983 event. This year’s Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association plowing match and rural celebration will be held on Friday, Aug. 27 and Saturday, Aug. 28. The 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show ran from Tuesday, Sept. 27 through to Saturday, Oct. 1, all centred on the farm site then owned by Garnet Ralph. It was a most successful event thanks to five days of virtually ideal weather. No rain fell with the first four days being sunny fall days with clear blue skies and temperatures in the 70’s Celsius. The final day, Saturday, Oct. 1, saw cloudy skies but the temperature was pleasant and no rain fell. The cloudy conditions sure did not keep the crowds away, as 40,000 people attended the event on this final, albeit cloudy, day. This brought the overall attendance for the five day event to 142,000. There were over 600 exhibitors at the event, spread out over 100 acres in a “tented city”. A total of 200 plowmen competed in the various plowing competitions. The plowing, as in all plowing competitions including the upcoming plowing match this year, was judged for straightness, firmness, evenness, depth, shape and uniformity. A good plowed furrow must be straight with a smooth trough and clean, even sides. This event, which was the 70th annual International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery show, was officially opened on Tuesday, Sept. 27 by federal Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Eugene Whelan. He rode in an old-fashioned roaster in the opening day parade which toured around the tented city, taking 25 minutes to pass any point in the parade route. There was also another parade on the site on the Saturday, Oct. 1, with

Two South Carleton High School students won awards in the 2010 Concours de francais langue seconde at Carleton University in Ottawa. They were members of two teams of five students each from South Carleton which participated in the competition. Jenna Wilson, a member of the extended French team, won the President’s Award for most creative essay in the extended French category. This category is for students in a late immersion program. Kelsi Leach won the Association canadienne des professeurs d’immersion (ACPI) Award for best oral interview in the French immersion category which is for students who have participated in
an early immersion program. Besides Jenna Wilson, other SCHS students on the school’s extended French team were Jim Gilbert, Everett Claridge, Anisha Ghelani and Alexandra Power. Besides Kelsi Leach, other SCHS students on the school’s French immersion team were Dylan Stone, Kelly Owen, Sara MacKellar and Tim Charlebois. The Concours de francais langue seconde competition at Carleton University has existed since 1974 and is open to grade 11 and 12 students in the Ottawa area for whom French is a second language. There are four components of the competition: grammar exercises, a dictation, an essay and an oral interview. Over 150 students from various schools in the Ottawa area participated in this year’s competition.

WITH ODYSSEY THEATRE
IN
OTTAWA
Learning about theatre as apprentices Carleton High School this past June and is off to the University of Waterloo in September to study chemistry. But he will also be taking some drama courses, continuing with his interest in drama that was developed over his years at South Carleton. Besides taking drama classes, he was a member of the school’s drama club and last fall directed the school’s entry, “Murder Most Foul,” in the Cappies program, a high school drama competition. Apprentices in the Odyssey Theatre program are paired with professional mentors for one-on-one training and guidance in various areas of specialization ranging from performance to directing to stage management to administration to front of house. Jim is a stage management apprenticeship and as such has worked most closely with Odyssey Theatre’s stage manager for this production, Samira Rose. One of the tasks of a stage manager is keeping track of the socalled “blocking” on stage. This is tracking where the actors are and their physical movements on stage as determined by the director. Jim has found this to be a more documented and strict process than happened in his South Carleton stage experiences where such stage actions were usually left up to the individual student actor with no strict documentation.
Much of Jim’s learning has taken place by just looking on and asking questions. “It’s not like organized lessons but if you listen and watch, you learn a lot,” he says. The stage manager is also responsible for all of the props used in the production and Jim has worked with Ms. Rose on arranging them and having them properly in place for the production. During the actual show itself, Jim will be alternating between working in the lighting and sound booth and working back stage with the props. The apprenticeship also involved some drama workshops where Jim learned about on-stage presence and movement. “You become aware of your body when talking to someone,” is how Jim explains the impact of • Business law • Real estate • Wills and Estates • Environmental law
these workshops on him. While Jim does not think he will ever be involved in theatre on a full time basis, perhaps limiting his involvement to a university or community drama group, he sees how many of the skills that he is learning as an Odyssey Theatre apprentice will apply to life beyond the theatre. For instance, the drama workshops on moving and speaking and controlling body movements will be invaluable in future public speaking opportunities. His apprenticeship has also exposed him to group dynamics and the importance of each person knowing his or her job and sticking to it, with direction from the boss, in this case, the director. Jim says that it has been really interesting associating with the professional actors involved with
Odyssey Theatre and getting to know them. In addition, the apprentices have all worked together with certain preparations for the production, such as setting up the lighting and sets including set construction. But while some of the recent days have stretched from early morning to into the darkness (to ensure that the lighting is just right for the evening productions), Jim has been having fun. “It’s so much fun,” he says of his apprenticeship experience. “It’s having fun – it’s not just a job.” He is really valuing all of the little moments that happen throughout the day from which he is learning – the terminology used, the different work styles.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Move over, Donald Trump. Here comes Odyssey Theatre. While “The Apprentice” reality television show hosted by real estate magnate and businessman Donald Trump draws in viewers, Ottawa’s Odyssey Theatre youth apprenticeship program focuses on providing a combination of practical experience, formal training and mentoring to young people with a passion for theatre. And, this summer, two of these young people have ties to South Carleton High School in Richmond where they have both been involved with the drama program and drama productions. This summer, they are serving as youth apprentices at Odyssey Theatre which this week will be marking its 24th season of outdoor theatre with the comedy “They All Do It”, beginning a month-long run at Strathcona Park in Sandy Hill in Ottawa. Since the end of June, Jim Gilbert and Alexa Polenz have been at Strathcona Park six days a week, involved with the Odyssey Theatre’s professional theatre company as it has prepared for the play. Both will now be involved with the ongoing performances through to the end of August. Jim Gilbert, 17, who lives in Richmond, graduated from South

LEARNING, FROM 20
up. At South Carleton, such functions are handled by the school’s tech crew and so the drama students do not get exposed to this aspect of theatre. Alexa admits that she is still somewhat on the fence about whether she will pursue post-secondary education in theatre or another field, although she says that it is 80 to 90 percent certain that she will be going into theatre of some sort. “I’m passionate about theatre,” she explains. Director Paul Griffin, an Ottawabased actor, director and teacher (at Canterbury High School), is high in his praise of apprentices Jim Gilbert and Alexa Polenz.
He says that the Odyssey Theatre apprenticeship program is a great program because it allows the apprentices to see the nuts and bolts involved in putting together a stage show, including that it is not all fun but entails a lot of hard work. But on the flip side, he says that the apprenticeship program is also great for Odyssey Theatre as the apprentices bring a special energy with them that is contagious. “It’s a win/win situation,” Mr. Griffin says about the apprenticeship program. Stage manager Samira Rose, who has worked at the National Arts Centre as well as with Opera Lyra Ottawa and the Great Canadian Theatre Company, has worked

closely with apprentice Jim Gil- 21 bert and sings his praises. “He has been fantastic,” she says, noting that he is always the first to volunteer for a task and that he learns quickly if it is something that he does not know. She loves his “great attitude.” She finds that having the apprentices around with their constant questions is beneficial to her and the other professionals on scene because it makes them think more about their job and why they are doing certain things in a certain way. It’s like a refresher course. The Olyssey Theatre youth apprenticeship program, in which both Jim and Alexa are involved this summer, is for youth between the ages of 14 and 21 with a passion for the arts. Working with a professional theatre company like Odyssey Theatre, it allows the apprentices to expand their artistic interests, develop their skills and prepare them for a future involved in the arts. The program offers a combination of practical experience, formal training and mentoring. At the end of the program, the apprentices will receive feedback and advice from the professionals of Odyssey Theatre. They will also participate in a career seminar where they will receive information about the arts industry. Besides learning new theatre skills, the apprentices will end the summer with a modest honorarium provided to them by Odyssey Theatre for their work this summer. Stittsville News - JULY 29, 2010
“You see the difference between high school students and the pros,” he remarked. As for Alexa Polenz, also 17, she is an apprentice in directing, working closely with the play’s director Paul Griffin. Alexa, who lives in Stittsville, will be going into grade 12 at South Carleton this September. At school, she has been involved in drama classes and the drama club and will be directing the school’s Cappies entry this coming school year. She says that she has been learning mostly by watching rehearsals and taking notes. “It’s kind of subconscious learning,” she says, noting that it is difficult to pinpoint specific examples of learning moments. “The whole experience sort of affects you,” she says. She has been particularly observant of how the director, Paul Griffin, works with the various actors. He takes input and feedback from the actors but in the end, the director has the final say about what an actor does. She finds that this is different from her high school experiences where the student actors more or less direct themselves in their roles. She hopes that she will be able to implement some of the things that she has learned as an apprentice this summer into her direction of the Cappies show at South Carleton. The Odyssey Theatre production
is using a multi-level stage and Alexa sees this as something that may be possible at South Carleton through the use of risers. It could be an innovation for the Cappies show. Olyssey Theatre is offering a youth matinee of its play every Wednesday afternoon through August. Alexa co-wrote the introduction for this children’s show with the goal of making it more child friendly. Alexa has also worked with the playwright, Janet Irwin, a veteran of the Canadian theatre scene who has written “They All Do It.” She has noted that changes can be made to the script at the suggestion of actors or the director because the playwright is right there. This cannot be done in high school drama situations because copyright rules mean that the play must be performed as written as the playwright is not there on scene to make changes. Besides working with the director and playwright, Alexa has helped out with the props and even in constructing the bleachers set up in the show’s outdoor venue. “It’s kind of an all round experience,” she says, adding that she is looking forward to the beginning of the play as she will then begin working in the front of house area, helping with ticket sales and with the concessions. Her apprenticeship experience has also exposed her to how the lighting and sound systems are set
‘Theatre under the Stars’ JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Odyssey Theatre is offering “Theatre under the Stars” again this summer. This is the Ottawa-based professional theatre company’s 24th season. Performances of “They All Do It,” which is described as a seductive contemporary comedy inspired by Mozart’s opera “Cosi fan tutte,” will be taking place from Thursday, July 29 through Sunday, August 29 at Strathcona Park in the Sandy Hill area of Ottawa. The play will run from Tuesday through Sunday evenings starting at 8 p.m., with tickets ranging from $19 to $24. Sunday matinees will be held at 3 p.m., with admission based on a pay-what-you-can principle. There will also be a special youth matinee on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. with a $5 admission charge. Jim Gilbert of Richmond and Alexa Polenz of Stittsville, who are both youth apprentices with Odyssey Theatre this summer, will be involved with all of these performances. Jim will be working in the lighting and sound booth or with the props behind the scenes. Alexa will be working at the front of the house with ticket and concession sales. This will mark the world premiere of the play “They All Do It,” written by Ottawa playwright Janet Irwin who has a long involvement with Odyssey Theatre, including directing Odyssey’s production of “The Barber of Seville” back in 2002. “They All Do It” recounts the story of two young couples who gamble all for love. However, passions become inflamed, fidelity tested and dirty tricks played, all very entertaining. Odyssey Theatre is known for its signature
masks and costumes and this production is no different. The plot is full of disguises, beguiling encounters and zany tactics which is why the play is described as a seductive contemporary comedy. This Janet Irwin play was developed through Odyssey Theatre’s new play creation program. Indeed, the play has been in development since 2004. Director Paul Griffin, who teaches at Canterbury High School in Ottawa where he has directed over 25 plays, is returning to Odyssey Theatre for the second time as director, having previously directed “A Curious Mishap.” He has also acted in several Odyssey Theatre productions. This is a busy summer for Mr. Griffin because he will also be travelling to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, billed as the world’s largest arts event, where Canterbury High School students will perform “The Neon Bible Project,” an original collaborative creation which he directs. The professional cast of “They All Do It” includes Shaw Festival actor Charlotte Gowdy, Ottawa actors Emma Hunter, Kelly Rigole and Benjamin Clost and Toronto actors Matt O’Connor and Andy Cockburn. The masks in the production are the work of Karen Rodd who has created masks for “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Lion King.” The set and costumes are the work of roy Hansen-robitschek, an Odyssey Theatre veteran, as are Ron Ward with the lights and John Armstrong with the music. For more information about “They All Do It,” contact Odyssey Theatre general manager Dana Uzarevic at 613-232-8407. The website is at www.odysseytheatre.ca.
